Dealer Notes
Part one (the second following in 1636) of this small-format dictionary of vices and sins, with engravings by Philippe Sadeler. Drexel’s (1581-1638) works virtue, eternal truth and recognition of the divine were popular and much-read in his lifetime. Aware of the power of visual symbols to convey his teachings, it is not uncommon for his books to be heavily illustrated. COPAC finds copies only in the British Library and the Bodleian.
